Browns WR Bess arrested, charged with assaulting officer
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Davone Bess was arrested early Friday morning and charged with assaulting a police officer/firefighter at a South Florida airport.
Bess, 28, was taken into custody by police at Fort Lauderdale International Airport at 6:19 a.m. Friday. The police report said Bess appeared to be under the influence of an unknown narcotic due to his irrational behavior" which included "dancing, singing with his pants repeatedly falling down."
He was approached by an officer, at which point Bess spilled coffee on the officer, removed his shirt and "took a fighting stance," according to the report.
Police records show that Bess was taken to Broward County Jail and charged with three misdemeanors, including assault on an officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Bess was later released on $100 bond.
When confronted by reporters upon his exit, Bess wouldn't comment on the incident, but gave a bizarre response when asked about the recent pictures on his Twitter account with what appears be marijuana. In what we assume is just his idea of a clever play on words, Bess said "ask Brandon Weeden", as seen in the video below from NBC Miami.
